Timeline

1994

Anton Cooper (born 11 August 1994) is a New Zealand cross-country cyclist who races for the Trek Factory Racing XC Team.

2011

As a 16-year-old, he surprised by winning the 2011 Karapoti Classic in Upper Hutt.

When the February 2011 Christchurch earthquake hit, his competition bike got stuck in a bike shop and he had to compete at the nationals on an old training bike.

Significant wins in his career as an amateur include winning silver at the World mountain bike championships in Champéry, Switzerland in 2011, and winning gold in the 2012 World mountain bike championships in Saalfelden, Austria.

Cooper is the first New Zealander who won a world championship in cross country cycling, and it was his last race before he turned professional.

In December 2011, Cooper signed a sponsorship contract with the Trek Bicycle Corporation for 12 months.

2012

He received his education at Christchurch Boys' High School and he graduated in 2012.

He has since moved to the Christchurch hill suburb Westmorland, not far from the Christchurch Adventure Park.

Cooper started racing aged 11, encouraged by his father.

Apart from cross country riding, he enjoys cross country running and tennis.

Among other riders, he admires Julien Absalon and Nino Schurter, and among other athletes, he looks up to former rugby union player Richie McCaw, cricketer Brendon McCullum, and rowers Hamish Bond and Eric Murray.

Before receiving professional sponsorship, he was discovered as a strong talent by Christchurch adventure racers Steve Moffatt and Steve Gurney, who organised financial support from various business people.

Trek decided to focus on downhill racing and Cooper signed a contract with the Cannondale Bicycle Corporation in December 2012 for 24 months.

Rules set by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), the world governing body for sports cycling, stipulate that mountain bikers must be at least 19 years old in the year Olympic Games are held to be allowed to compete.

Cooper was outside of that requirement by eight months for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.

BikeNZ, New Zealand's national governing body of cycle racing, sought a dispensation for Cooper but this was declined.

2014

He then won gold at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland, a race in which Sam Gaze from Rotorua, New Zealand, won silver, making it the first gold–silver win for New Zealand at the Commonwealth Games.

2015

He is the 2015 World Under 23 Cross-country Mountain bike champion and the 2012 World Junior Cross-country Mountain bike champion.

Cooper then became Under 23 Cross-country world champion at the 2015 World mountain bike championships in Andorra.

2016

One of the two contenders for the country's 2016 Summer Olympics quota spot, he developed chronic fatigue earlier in 2016 and the nomination went to Sam Gaze instead.

New Zealand was given one quota place for a male mountain biker for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, with the general expectation that either Gaze or Cooper will be chosen.

Cooper's 2016 World Cup races were upset by him developing chronic fatigue, with him first recognising symptoms in February 2016.

In June 2016, the Rio selection was thus awarded to Gaze, and it caused Cooper some "really dark weeks".

Cooper suspended his 2016 campaign and returned home to New Zealand from his Northern Hemisphere summer base in Germany.

In August, he underwent surgery on adenoids that are giving him problems.

2017

Ahead of the 2017 national championships, he lost access to his bike once more as he had been evacuated from his Westmorland home due to the 2017 Port Hills fires, but Police let him through the cordon to retrieve all he needed to travel to the competition.

2020

Cooper represented New Zealand at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, finishing sixth in the Men's Cross-country Mountain Bike final.

Cooper is from Woodend, a town in the Waimakariri District 26 km north of Christchurch.

His parents are Paul and Laila Cooper, and he has several sisters.
